ReplyDeleteI keep seeing this one today and it sounds amazing! I don't know A Thousand and One Night but I really look forward to reading this one :) Great pick!
ReplyDeleteI guess everyone is excited about it! Thanks for stopping Eileen :)
ReplyDeleteThis does sound REALLY good, though I am not familiar with A Thousand and One Nights, it just sounds so incredibly messed up that I must read it. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteYou're right. It really sounds just so messed up that you just want to read it!
